Pelco Manual C1927M (5/99) 11
MONITORS
Main Monitor - The main monitor can show live video of an individual camera or a
sequence of individual cameras, the same as the spot monitor. But the main monitor is the
only monitor that can show multi-screen displays (more than one camera displayed
simultaneously), run multi-screen sequences, play back video from a VCR, or use the
digital zoom feature of the multiplexer. These functions can be done only when the multi-
plexer is in DISPLAY mode. The multiplexer will not record in DISPLAY mode.
The monitor can be overridden by an alarm(s) and/or activity detection.
Cameras are digitally time corrected in LIVE and VCR modes and will not roll when
sequenced if they are out of phase.
Connect your main monitor to the MAIN output. Refer to Table A for the type of video
coaxial cable to use.
Spot Monitor (Optional) - The operator can manually call up live video of an individual
camera or a sequence of individual cameras.
The monitor can be overridden by an alarm(s) and/or activity detection.
Cameras are not digitally time corrected and will roll when sequenced if they are out of phase.
Connect your spot monitor to the SPOT output. Refer to Table A for the type of video
coaxial cable to use.
